Tiki Huts for the Homeless

Well they are actually Chickee Huts, but I like the way the official quoted in the article corrects the reporter. I also like the idea mentioned kiddingly in the article of providing Tiki bars for the homeless!

Maybe we could start a program called Tiki Bars for the Homeless (I'm open for alternate name suggestions). We could open Tiki Bars under freeway overpasses. Kind of like a Meals on Wheels program but we could provide Mai Tai's and Suffering Bastards.

Here's the link to the article:

HUTS: "Homes Under The Stars"

So the article says 48'x20' coverings at $30k each. Wow! I've never built a hut myself, but at that size and that price, you'd think that there actually would be a bar in there!

really.
something tells me that the seminoles didn't spend the equivalent of $30000 to build those things.

In some So Cal communities such as Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, there isn't as much of a concern for the 'homeless' as there is for the 'Summer homeless'.

(My God Lovie! Must we go to Martha's Vineyard again!)

Jones says, "A tiki hut is not technically the correct name for what they are building, which sounds like a tiki bar. We are not about building a bar, heaven help us on that; we are building a chickee."

I respond "Why is it that when I'm looking for a chickee (especially a built one), I end up at a bar?"
